TITANIC: Movie Review

Titanic is a very well known movie directed by famous director James Cameron in year 1997. Titanic movie is name after the famous ship in the world history which is the RMS TITANIC which famously known as unsinkable ship but yet sank at the bottom of Atlantic Ocean.

Titanic movie is based on a real life situation also some called it “THE SHIP OF DREAMS” and history but some characters are totally fictional like the main actor/actress: Jack Dawson and Rose DiWitt Bukater. The story focuses in the history of RMS TITANIC together with the love story of Jack and Rose that builds inside the ship. In the movie you will see how the Titanic starts and ends, it was called “unsinkable” but the tragic happens. Some says the owner of the ship Joseph Bruce Ismay mocked the god, he said that even god can’t sink this ship. Some people blamed the captain Edward Smith because Titanic sometimes called the fastest ship. It sanks after the ship hits the iceberg that causes the freezing water enter the ship.

Titanic movie got famous because of the tragic love story of the characters. Jack and Rose have different status in life that’s why when Ruth (mother or Rose) knew their relationship she restricted Rose to see that Jack because Rose was already have incoming arranged marriage with Calderon Hockley a rich man. Rose and her mother was totally falling into a poor but because of their good name leave from her father they still surviving. But because of this, Ruth wanted Rose to marry Caledon to make their lives back to the top but Rose has no feeling or affection to him because she was already inlove with some poor stranger Jack Dawson.

More than a thousand of peple died in the Titanic sank included Jack, because the ship has lack of life boats. But Jack died because of the freezing water while Rose survived because of the piece of wood. They can be both survive but whenever they try to go into the wood, the wood will sank that’s why Jack let Rose to go into that wood in able her to survive. Waiting to the possibility that life boat cameback, because of the freezing temperature Jack died. When only one life boat cameback Rose was survived but before that she made a promise to Jadk that she never let go no matter what happen. That tradegy and Jack always in the memory of Rose until she died in old.

Titanic movie is a tragic romance. It was a very interesting and many moral lessons and facts to be learn like history and sacrifices. It can be traumatizing to the children or young who can watch it. This movie can be seen by 18 years old above. I really recommend this movie to the people who wants to learn about the history of the famous ship and to the couples so that they can make their relationship stronger. Watching this movie can add your knowledge about history and make some different perspective in some aspect of life.

Many people say this story is their first love and has a special place in their heart. Hell University is a combination of horror, mystery and romance that keeps the readers to the edge of their seat and doesn't miss any part of the story. With his determination and passion to create good quality content, KnightInBlack will always continue his writing and inspire other people with the moral and hidden lessons in his stories that can apply to real life situations.

SUMMARY

It starts from a group of teenagers(Zein and her friends) who wanted to have a haunted group outing but instead they discover a hidden school in the middle of the forest. This school allows students to kill each other after sunset, probably 7pm. There's only one rule in the school, the iconic line, “Once you enter there's no turning back”because this school is not regulated by the government. So Zein and her friends accept the fact they should survive the living hell they entered and there she meets the love of her life, the so-called “supremo”, the supreme president of the school Ace Craige. He is the most powerful student and once you belong to the top 10 students it means you are powerful and also can control someone. Supremo falls in love with Zein that pushes him to make Zein his secretary and makes her belong to the top 10. As the story goes on, everyday there's killing and the trigger between the two rival groups, the Black Bloody Gang and Devil God Warriors, Madame Violet and Francisco continue their evilness and control the school. Little did they know Supremo has a tunnel to the real world aka the prison and is waiting for the right time to free his co-students from the hell university. As Zein and Ace fall in love deeper, Supremo attempts many sacrifices to her to make her safe inside the school even though he knows that it can cause him to be removed as the president which is the best asset to him to make his plan possible. There is a rule that Supremo should not fall in love because it creates his decision biassed and unfair to others, when Madame Violet and Francisco knew the relationship between them, they removed Ace as the president. This is when Ace reveals the truth because the situation inside the school becomes worse, Zein is hurt and dying because Madame Violet and Francisco have full control. He takes the risk of danger just to save his love, Zein. In the end of the Hell University book, the whole school was finally free from that hell and the site of the school was closed. Every student went back to their previous life before in peace. Zein and her remaining friends become stronger to their friendship. Zein went back to her home and family. In the end Zein and Ace can freely love each other without any boundaries and their siblings Allison and Raze finally met each other. The tragedy and trauma are still in their hearts but little by little they move on and face the reality.

OVERVIEW

The story of Hell University tells the readers to be more open-minded to every situation. Always do the right thing even if it can result in negative or worse, for example in the character of Zein who always chooses the right way to solve the problem and death. In Hell University the lesson is like just the real school. They also have subjects and teachers but when the clock strikes at 7pm all students are allowed to kill whoever they want. There are also iconic things that symbolise something, for example the nail it symbolises the Black Blood Gang. It shows how cruel the hell university is but for some reason if you read the book it attracts you more to enter and imagine how your life will be if you are in that school. In the beginning of the story you will notice that Hell University is totally violence, killing and selfish but the circle of friends of Zein makes the story balanced. Also Supremo will do everything for love even if it can destroy his plan that he built for many years. Some students also need to kill and sacrifice life to make the situation more realistic for Madame Violet and Francisco because they are the main reason why students are trapped in that hell and they are the one who created the school. The main reason why most of the readers, especially myself, are amazed is the biggest plot twist ever. The plot twist that no one will notice because of the very hidden clues, especially in the part of the two gangs are just props to make the acting more realistic and scary. The time when readers all know and might know that Ace is the real Raze Silvenia, the owner of the cat is Raze’s own child, Samantha is the sibling of Zein and twin of Allison. Also I was amazed that Samantha is the first love of Supremo,in this part I feel sad for Zein because they look like I might think that Supremo just loves him because he reminds Samantha of her. But readers and I wonder why no one can escape to that school, because of just that wall. The one thing for sure that catches the reader's and my heart is the love story of Zein and Supremo, the plot twist and development of the character and situations.

STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES

Hell University is very popular through this past years and even now, it was read by many people at any age. It has a advanced and fantastic imaginabale characters and plot. The story was amazing from the start until the last. The very strength of the book is that, it has many moral lessons and situations that people can be open their minds to put situations in their selves like sacrificing for their love ones, doing the right thing no matter what will be the result, how to be a good leader and folllower, and the real friendships without betrayals. As you read the book you will wonder and ask question for your self, “How can I suppose to live there?”, “What kind of student I am inside the Hell University”, “Im inlove with Supremo”, “Is there a chance I can survive the Bloody Night and Bloody Week?”, the common question that readers continues the chapters. The very focus of the story is that, students can freely escape in that hell school and also the love story of the main characters (Zein and Ace) and friendship of the group of teenagers who discover the school.

The theme of the book is horror and romance, that can be only read by 18 years old above, but even children read the book. The author should have restriction in the Wattpad App and to the book stores because of the violence and impact of the story to the mind of youngs. Also the ending of the book was not totally the end, there is a sequel of the book called the “Chasing Hell”. There are also some part of the story where in it is not in the App but it was written to the book, which can the readers from the app has lack of some part of the book. You will notice that the book and app have some wrong spelling and grammatically error. It uses new words and expression that some readers can’t be understand it easily.

ANALYSIS/ CLOSING SUMMARY

Hell University is a fiction story about the school where in killing is legal, your curiosity drives you at death, love is no place in there and death bodies treated as a trash. It is a combination of horror and romance. It was start and discover of the group of teenagers who wanted to have haunted group outing then they came inside the school and never came back to the outside. They experience the living hell where in killing is everywhere, everytime and everyday. They follow rules and have a formal class but little they did know the dark prison is the key to the real world. It is a tunnel that communicates the school to the real world. As time pass by, the main chracters fall deeper in each other that causes the plan in danger. But even death face them and struggles they handle it in able to survive. In the end the students are free to the school and the site was close. The sequel of the book was written into another book called “Chasing Hell” where in it stated the real ending of the characters after they escape the Hell University. There is some book related to the Hell University like the popular “Warm Bodies” about the love between the zombie and human, they handle to escape even their are different. The zombie saves the girl to his co-zombies but in the end they discover a way to bring back the zombie to human and they finally love each other as human beings. Horror romance is very popular and most viewed and read stories because of the combination of mystery and love. In the book of KnightInBlack the “Hell University” it was popular even now it reached a millions readers and reached a high rating. Love is the powerful power that a person holds just like Zein and Ace even there are in that hell they manage there love. Friendship is always our first love, Zein and her friends remains strong after what happen and they not even blame each other because it was an amazing experience yet dangerous. Destiny is the phenomenon that we can’t control even accidents and death, there’s no way to predict the future but rather we face the present and change the past.

Women is not a TOY

Living in a society that was exposed to violence, inequality, and immorality was a great challenge to every individual to survive. In the 21st century, crimes and violence have the highest rate in every part of the world. In present society it sets the standard without boundaries and limits. People learned about machines, technologies and high levels of intellectual knowledge, and they forgot about morality and manner. As freedom is used wrongly it results in adverse effects in every aspect of life. One of the most controversial issues in society besides killing is gender orientation, discrimination, inequality and disrespect. It is the centered focus in Brandon Teena’s story who was being rape, change gender orientation and killed.

One of the highest rate crimes is rape, it is a sensitive topic and complicated argument in the society. Rape is act of force sexual intercourse between man and woman. Rape has negative effect especially on the victim in terms of her emotional, physical and psychological state. Society creates the idea that women are just a sex toys and just for pleasure, this idea roots from religion and culture. As said, it is complicated argument because many people believe that if woman was raped it was her fault, they blamed the way of clothing of a woman. In the past, catholic women were not allowed to wear revealing clothes, their dress must not show their arms, shoulders and legs as possible. In islam women are required to wear Hijab to protect them in the sexual act of man. Women should show grace and elegance, some women are not allowed to see men. But if you think deeply with unbiased mind and perspective, man is the reason why woman was rape because they are the one that did the action. If a man learns his self-discipline and sexual temper even if the woman in front of him is naked, he will still not think of “sex”. In fact, there are reported rape case that victims has an age of below 10 years old definitely it is a child. But why still man rape the poor child? Some victims have the proper way of clothing and their body was well covered but why still man raped her? These questions are very hidden and ignored in society.

As time passed by, women were underrated and downgraded by men because of the belief that men are more dominant and stronger than women. We all already know that gender is only female and male, but time passed by and there are some varieties of genders revealed and developed. In this case, Brandon turn into trans man after she was raped, after her change she was raped again and killed that ends her life. Her life story represents that whatever your gender or sex is, rapist will always do his rape. Even you are men, transgender, bisexual and other gender orientation still there’s always possibility of rape.

In fact there are laws and rules in rape cases. The RA 8358(Anti-rape law) stated that rape is a crime and the RA 9710(Magna Carta for Woman) that protects woman and child from abuse. By the help of these women are protected under the law. But even though we have these laws, rapists are rapists. In the eyes of our rapist we are all victims no matter what gender, age and status. This is the sad reality that over time builds. We can prevent it and avoid it, starting from ourselves to society and society to everyone. Discipline our morality, human rights and be educated.

my reflection about “BRANDON TEENA STORY” about rape.

[riciidrei]

Silent Scream

Starts from planting to carrying, ends with burying

Seed that grows inside a woman’s womb

Take care of it, delivering it to the outside sacrificing her body, to have a mark wound

That symbolises birth to an offspring

Guiding the stages of life, from the first cry until having a new cycle of life

Woman has the strongest power not a supernatural but creating a household from her own figure

Handling a husband and child, doing chores and so many sacrifices which are the tasks that unbeatable to imagine by a broad perspective mind

She is our mother. Our home, carrier, first hero and first supporter but it’s not just like that. She is our light in the middle of the darkest sky, our crying shoulder and cheerleader

Being a mom was more than enough from being a wife. Mother carry tye foundation of the house and family

Sometimes they are the acting wall inside the house especially to the single mom, they are the one who manage the whole system and aspect of her children’s lives

Woman is given and taken, man gives him money she buys necessities and man gives him love she gave him a family

But when the time comes the offspring blooms and gets the freedom, she was left behind. She’s always the end

After all what happened, that woman always left alone not knowing why these things should end. The mother that always has kids attached to her but now only herself alone.

The whole cycle ends with death, when one ends there’s another one will start.

If the mother dies the offspring will take the heavy responsibility awaits. That is the time when that woman screams in silence full of adventure, pain, love and happiness in the entity.

Then the endless cycle will repeat again. That’s what women have and purpose, but the seed of her soul is more than rubies.
